5 minute poetry - Page 70

WanderingActor · 01-11-2005, 02:19 PM

I wrote a lot of poems while driving through Louissiana (don't ask where the inspiration came from) and will post them whenever I can get to a computer.

Harlot

Watching you upon me
Seeing all your truth bared in open
Tranquility

Yet we'll never know each other
In the way that you desire
You can see me perspire

While you sleep I'm helpless
Unable to find the respite
That I long for in my deepest fantasy

Take a walk to remember
The lane of past events
Has been awaiting your return

Take a walk down memory lane
For the present can't be borne
Wishing you can do the impossible

Take a walk in your past
See the wonderful things
Shun the horrible things

Take a walk to the day
That things were all in place
And you were on top of the world

Take a run to yesterday
Full speed to what was
And avoid the bleak tomorrow

There is a man filled up with rage,
Who�s life has been a tortured cage,
He was and is a loyal friend,
Who�s purpose seems to be to mend.

To mend the wounds that others feel,
Though his own scars are yet to heal,
Opens his heart to all he meets,
And stays by their side when they seem beat.

Yet now he fumes and rages so,
And for what reason I do not know,
What could cause this heart to freeze?
Which once soared within the breeze.

There is a woman cut deep with sorrow,
Who�s loss indeed would be hard to swallow.
She loved everyone with all her heart,
And gave to us the most radiant Art.

She raised our spirits when we were down,
Did all in her power to erase our frown.
What could have been said to shatter such,
The one who�s soul was a healing touch?

Their two stories seem forever entwined,
But what does one do when worlds collide?
How can one help when they do not know,
The source of this unfailing woe?

All we can do is be there for them,
Bare our hearts, like a glittering Gem.
Be there for whenever they are ready,
And be Their cane with which to steady.

For they have both been our support,
And now we are their last resort.
For they were there when our hearts burn.
And now, my friend, it is our turn.

wow. as usual, stunned by the amount of energy and work i see in here. here is another done by me, while I was half asleep at about 3 in the morning, because i am a nerd and only have other nerdy friends, none of whom own a car that they can drive.

LIFE

Welcome to the place,
Where the shadows meet the saints
i welcome you to my home,

I'd help you in
but i just dont care
my heart has turned to stone

here you can trade in
lost hopes for lemonade
both are bitter and sad

we have a line to god
but the devil's closer
and the connections bad

life sucks and i dont care
life is exactly what it seems
my bags are packed

My bible lies atop
with it's tear stained pages
i pick up the leather back

It falls from my hands
I fall to my knees
and cry

slowly i stand
my heart is not healed
but i know where the path lies

I worked hard on that one, and am quite proud of it. please dont smash it. I did another one at school twenty minutes ago, off the top of my head

When the sun sets,
when my power waxes,
that is when i shall start searching for you.
when the sun rises,
when my power fades,
I shall not stop for i love you
you are not alone,
you are always loved,
And I shall search always for your side.

Ghaied Nu Bas! Funka, stick to english, Gaelic or Drow.

I crossed the line,
Changed it all for the worse,
I crossed the line,
And, my dear God, it hurts...

A broken heart, shattered dreams,
Life seemingly not worth living,
A broken heart, shattered dreams,
Forgiveness now not worth giving...

Reflect, in retrospect,
I could've done better...
But now, it's far too late.
I should've done better...

deliberate and come to grips
in ways so awfully suspect
a mind so balanced often tips
when weighed a heavy prospect

a shattering of heart divine
and smatterings of genius
just walk away if so inclined
pretending you can't see us

we who seek a flame alight
that travel for no reason
and search for answers oft' despite
the weather wary season

invisible to higher eyes
our matters are perception
found beneath such pretty lies
salvation, no direction

turning backs instead of heads
we build our favorite memories
the cover's torn, the book unread
for winners write your histories

dedicated to all the brilliant minds on this forum, and those who think in ways unique.

She weighs the scales
Now left, now right
Tipping, dipping
With the ticking clock
Pendulum swings
Now left, now right
Choose one or none
Can't have both
Won't have both
Or even worse
To not choose
To hold back
To stay put
Out of fear
Out of pain
Hurt all
Hurt yourself
Take one path
To the left
To the right
The rest is forest
Not beaten path
Two known choices
Left, or right
And one unknown
To hurt yourself

What will hurt less,
and what is the right path?
Those two are not always....
....one and the same...

Love
Friendship
Caring

Those are what we need
In times like these

Love
There is many kinds
They exist only in our minds
They help us survive

They are our downfall
They are our saviours

Friendship
There is only one kind
It too exists in our mind
And shines from our actions
From our skills as friends

It too can brake a hart
It too can make things less hard

Caring
The most important one
Holds together the others
Is a line in the reel
And the connection in between

Exists in our minds
But can not live without our deeds

We are flawed, in so many ways
But these three things make it all seem...
That there is still hope, for you, them and me

A mistake's been made, by one so naive,
Tryin' to tell her that he was gonna leave,
His tongue slipped, his words twisted,
She took it to heart, but he missed it...

Missed how it broke her heart,
Missed how it was just the start
of the trouble, buried in the rubble
of their relationship, which had crumbled.

He hurt her in the worst possible way,
A mistake he regrets to this very day,
The words in his mind are what she said,
They stay with him now, echo in his head:

"Always remember what you did to the ray of light that helped you in the dark."

He will not forget...But he will regret...
